The Kirkland Signature Chablis 2023 is a wine I fond at Costco selling for $14.99. The winemaker is Pierre Brissy of Maison Brocard.
The Story
The back label only mentions Pierre Brissy and not Maison Brocard, Brissy is the winemaker for Brocard.
Domaine Brocard is a leader in Burgundy in organic and biodynamic farming and wine production.
The Chablis growing region produces Chardonnay and Chardonnay only. Usually with no oak barrel seasoning and with malolactic fermentation.
The is Kirkland Signature Chablis 2023 is designated an AOC wine. There are 4 levels, Petit Chablis, then AOC, followed by Premier Cru, and then Grand Cru.
The back label indicates that the grapes were taken from “the finest vineyards” so this is probably not an Estate wine. Considering the winemaker and the Maison’s position in Chablis they should not have had a problem sourcing excellent grapes.
Chablis is the name of a town in Burgundy, in France the location is often used instead of the grape.
While this Chardonnay is not aged in oak it was aged for 12 months in stainless steel tank.
The alcohol content is 12.5%
